His voice wasn't loud, but each utterance was deep and powerful, striking a chord in Mu Xiaocheng's heart.
Mu Xiaocheng's heart was beating a little fast at that moment.
"I... I'm not angry about this."
She awkwardly pushed him away, turned her face away, and looked elsewhere.
Ji Huaishen chuckled helplessly and pulled her closer to him: "Okay, you're not angry. I wanted to explain it to you. I was just being petty and judging you by my own standards."
Hearing him say that, Mu Xiaocheng glared at him in annoyance.
Why did she always feel like he was mocking her for being petty?
Mu Xiaocheng pouted and raised her chin arrogantly, saying, "It's good that you know."
Ji Huaishen: "..."
Finally, she changed the subject.
"What's wrong with your umbrella? This style doesn't really suit you!"
Mu Xiaocheng suddenly pointed at the cute umbrella and asked with a hint of doubt, a smile playing on her lips.
Ji Huaishen raised his eyes, glanced at the top of the umbrella, and said calmly, "I'll ride with you."
He thought she should like cute things.
Kids love cute things.
She feels better when she sees something she likes.
Mu Xiaocheng grinned.
She's not a little kid anymore, okay?
She now exudes a composed and goddess-like aura.
They're not a good match at all, yeah, I absolutely refuse to admit it.
The two of them, holding an umbrella, walked back.
I just passed by the little noodle shop where Mu Xiaocheng ate, and I saw the owner standing at the entrance of the shop, smiling and showing off her big white teeth. She was very happy.
"Young lady, your boyfriend is very worried about you. He even bought an umbrella next door when it started raining. I saw him following you the whole time, afraid that something might happen to you."
The proprietress had a loud voice, and every word reached Mu Xiaocheng's ears.
She looked up in shock at Ji Huaishen beside her.
A cold wind blew against her face, carrying a drizzle.
"You...have been following me?"
Why didn't she notice?!
Why is he following her?
Ji Huaishen tidied her wind-blown hair and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you really won't come home."
His voice was hoarse and trembling slightly, carrying a tone of grievance and pitifulness.
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly.
Are you really scared?
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked up at him: "Then why didn't you call me? Why did you keep following me like this?"
Before Ji Huaishen could even speak after Mu Xiaocheng said this, the noodle shop owner said, "Isn't it because I was worried you were still angry? Girl, your boyfriend is really good. He rushed over as soon as he saw you squatting by the roadside. Tsk tsk, what deep-seated hatred could the young couple possibly have? They'll be over it in a little while."
"If I had a man that good, I'd wake up laughing every night, I wouldn't even have time to be angry, hahaha..."
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
Where does that leave your boss?
After listening to the landlady's words, Ji Huaishen lowered his head and met her beautiful eyes: "You heard everything?"
Mu Xiaocheng twitched the corner of her mouth, didn't answer, and started walking away.
Ji Huaishen quickly caught up with her, holding the umbrella over her the whole time.
As he passed the proprietress, for the first time ever, Ji Huaishen said to her, "Thank you."
The proprietress rubbed her hands on her apron, then suddenly blushed. Just as she was about to say something more, a deep male voice from inside the shop interrupted her: "Old woman, tidy up, it's almost lunchtime."
She glanced at the two people who were gradually walking away.
Smiling, she replied, "Okay."
Mu Xiaocheng and Ji Huaishen walked side by side on the road. The raindrops hit the umbrella without rhythm. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to make people feel uneasy.
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes, looking at the girl beside him. He parted his thin lips slightly, as if he had hesitated for a long time: "Mrs. Ji, let's go on a date."
